Rotorua is the premier destination in New Zealand for year-round mountain biking. Get your buddies together and head to the Whakarewarewa forest for great riding on over 100km of trails. If you don’t own a bike or aren’t travelling with your trusty stead you can hire one from the hire store located at the main carpark.
